During World War II, members of the Navajo tribe were recruited as wind talkers. They developed a unique coded language based on Navajo that was used to transmit secret military messages, which proved to be unbreakable by enemy forces. Their contributions were crucial in various battles in the Pacific Theater, helping to secure vital communications for the U.S. military. Other tribes, such as the Choctaw and Comanche, also had individuals who served in similar roles, but the Navajo wind talkers are the most famously recognized.

They were called "wind talkers" or simply code talkers. They took advantage of the fact that Navajo was a spoken language that practically no one outside the tribe was fluent in. Messages sent in Navajo or other language codes presented another level of difficulty to anyone trying to break the code.
The Navajo tribe members, known as the Navajo Code Talkers, created an unbreakable code used by the US Marine Corps during World War II. They developed a complex code based on the Navajo language, incorporating military terms and concepts, which proved crucial for secure communication in the Pacific Theater.

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin (MITW) has five (5) tribal members officially recognized by the federal government as serving as code talkers in WWII. They were honored in November 2013 in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. along with 211 other code talkers from 31 other tribes. It is important to note that there were other tribes than just the Navajo who served as code talkers. In May 2014 the five were honored by the Veterans of the Menominee Nation (VMN) and the Menominee Indian Tribe at the 25th annual Gathering of Warriors Powwow in Keshena, Wisconsin. Family members of the Menominee code talkers were presented with medals specially designed for the code talkers by the U.S. Mint. They also were presented with an eagle feather by VMN and danced to a special honor song for them at the ceremony. VMN and Department of Defense are continuing their research on other Menominee tribal members who served as code talkers. The ongoing research shows there maybe four to five other tribal members who served and/or trained as code talkers.
Well, I would think so! The Navajo tribe is one of the most pominent and largest federally recognized tribes in the United States. Members of the Navajo tribe were an important asset to the U.S. during World War II. The Navajo Code Talkers used their native language to create a code for the U.S. that could not be cracked.
The code talkers were native American from the Navajo tribe. They used their native language to send messages that the Japanese couldn't decode or understand.
